WHO: Shockawkward & Soundawkward
WHERE: Dancitron
WHEN: After Dancitron closes for the night.
WARNINGS: Awkward, probably a lot of glares, idk what else
SUMMARY: The 'Waves have been avoiding each other because of what happened during the Desire event. They finally talk about it. It's kinda like that one episode of A Single Potato.
FORMAT: Whatever the bossy person says.


[It's been a few days. A few days since they've actually spoken. Soundwave has been avoiding him, he knows. But. He's been doing the same thing really - as illogical as it is. He knows this has to be taken care of, and the sooner it was, the better. This could not be allowed to interfere with work. Hn. Desire. Troublesome.]

[Quietly he makes his way into Dancitron, the scientist could not say he was looking forward to this little chat.]

Comments

don't beeeeeeeeeee.

[notsoloyal]

...

No. I cannot deny that it happened.

okayyyyyy

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AFFIRMATIVE.
JUST AS I CANNOT.

goooooooooooood.

[notsoloyal]

Had I not been without logic at the time, it would have never happened.

[Probably. He's not so sure anymore, but he does not doubt that logic would not approve of such things.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

LOGIC WILL ALWAYS DICTATE YOUR ACTIONS?

[notsoloyal]

Is there a problem with that?

[Avoids answering.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

NEGATIVE.
I AM CURIOUS.

[There isn't much he can do if Shockwave is locked with this choice.]

[notsoloyal]

It often will, however I cannot say that it always will. You have already been present when it has not dictated my actions.

[Something of which he really planned on fixing.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I AM AWARE.
YOU PREFER LOGIC?

[notsoloyal]

Logic is preferable. It was what I was programed with.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

...
ACKNOWLEDGED.
YOU CANNOT EASILY GO OUTSIDE PROGRAMMING.

[notsoloyal]

[He quietly wonders if Soundwave has a problem with logic, but he does not voice the question.]

There is no reason to go outside of my programming. I function just fine when I am following it.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

UNTIL YOU ARE IN PAIN, OF COURSE.

[notsoloyal]

Hn.

[Sets down his tea.]

You could have left me. I had not requested any help.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

[He lowers his head faintly.]

I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE YOU.
...
YOUR PAIN: NOT IN MY BEST INTERESTS.

[notsoloyal]

And I do appreciate that. I really do.

However, pain eventually fades. Letting out my desires was not the best of ideas.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE SUFFERING.

[notsoloyal]

Would you be able to stop yourself? Now that you've acknowledged your desires and all.

[Maybe he's pushing his luck with that.]

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

I ACKNOWLEDGE THEY EXIST.
HOWEVER, I AM CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING THEM.

[notsoloyal]

And you are certain of that?

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AFFIRMATIVE.
IF I WAS INCAPABLE OF CONTROLLING MYSELF, I WOULD ACT AS IF DESIRE WAS CONSTANTLY AFFECTING ME.

[notsoloyal]

Hm. Well at least that makes one of us for the time being.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

AND YOU?

[notsoloyal]

[Frowns.]

As I said, it takes a while for my logic to return completely, due to this body. It is not fully back yet.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

HOW LONG?

[notsoloyal]

And of what importance is that to you?

[It isn't that he doesn't want to tell Soundwave, but this has only actually happened once before. There was very little to go on as to how long it would take to come back fully. It'd only been a few days, and it had been returning, at least he had not gone out and taken anyone else off the streets to experiment on. The one he did take could get him into enough trouble if he was found out.]
